Bangalore as a treatment city at a Glance:
Situated in southern India in the state of Karnataka, midway
between the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean, this capital city of six
million is India’s fifth largest and fastest growing.
Bangalore has so many nicknames that one might suspect a public
relations agency was working overtime. Its many local parks and
abundant flora have earned it the name “The Garden City”. As India’s
centre for software production and outsourcing, Bangalore also
qualifies as “India’s Silicon Valley”. Its rich array of produce,
including grapes, mangoes, and guavas, has tagged Bangalore as “Fruit
Market of the South.” Bangalore is also known as the “Stone City” for
its abundant granite deposits.
To this list one might add “Healthcare City”, as Bangalore
boasts the largest number of World health Organization-approved
systems of medicine in a single city. Patients will find a broad array
of established treatment centers, including Manipal Hospital and
Wockhardt Hospital’s Centre for Cardiovascular Surgery. Over the past
five years, the average success rate for cardiac surgeries performed
in Bangalore’s eight cardiac care hospitals was 99.3 percent, on par
with hospitals in US cities.
Bangalore is also India’s unofficial seat of alternative treatments,
and patients seeking help off the beaten medical path will find a wide
array of choice, including ultramodern allopathy, Ayurveda, holistic
naturopathy, spa-based rejuvenation, yoga, and more.
